(Late 70s mono book of the month club pressing. Cover has super tiny split on the top and is great overall!)
One of the best albums ever from this hip Australian soul singer – a vocalist who was as important to her scene in the 70s as Chaka Khan was in the US!

One of the hardest to find Astrud Gilberto records on Verve – and one of the best! Deodato, Don Sebesky, and Pat Williams did the arrangements – and the sound here is a bit different than some of the straighter Gilberto sets of the time – still very bossa-inspired, but also in a ...

(60s stereo pressing. Cover has some light wear – but vinyl is clean, and this is a very nice copy.)
Kind of a dream combination in one little album – especially if you dig breezy bossa from the 60s!

While actually not as electrifying as some of Dizzy's other albums from the time, this one's still pretty darn great, and features his great group with Leo Wright on alto and Lalo Schfrin on piano.

Pretty skin tight stuff – as Marty and crew play more bongos than you'd ever hear in a beatnik hoedown!
